Photographer Aron Norman Forms Avant-Gard Theater Troupe--World Applauds

Ok, not really. But don't we look like one in this photo? Truth is, it was Aron's birthday and after a long day of shooting, we were getting just a leeeeetle punchy towards the end of the day.
Those scarves are part of the new RRR line from Rachel Roy. And even with our poor attempts at styling them, you can still get a hint of how cool her new pieces really are. And the best part? This offshoot line is affordable enough to warrant a splurge, even in a recession. Afterall, a girl's gotta wear SOMETHING, right?

Big thanks to Shootdigital for the upgrade to a bigger studio to accommodate our crew!

Where In the World is Photographer, Peter Rosa?

Feel like something has been missing lately, but can't put your finger on it? If it's not the summer sunshine it may just be the presence of a certain photographer and a certain location van. For the past week and a half, photographer Peter Rosa and cohort, Daniel Weiner have been making their way across the country. And this was no regular pilgrimage west--no sir.

Meet Shootdigital's location vehicle extrordinaire THE COYOTE.
It will be stationed in L. A. for the next 6 weeks so be sure to give Daniel a ring to hook yourself up with a free tour (just call shootdigital at 212.353.3330)

And if you really are feeling a looming void since those boys left, fret not. They have been chronicling their (mis)adventures via video and also on the shootdigital blog. Once the video has been edited you can bet your buttons we'll be posting that here to share.



For now, be sure to friend Daniel on facebook to catch pictures of the latest gastronomically daring attempt they've made on their stomachs . We don't want to give too much away....but when you stop at a BBQ joint located in the parking lot of a certain kind of questionable establishment, you need to call on some true American grit to see you through!

Peter Rosa Makes Us Fall for Fall Colors (and Sarah Parr)

So maybe we are rushing things a bit. It is, after all not even Sept 1st, but we just can't help ourselves. We are--sigh--in love with the new fall makeup. We think you will be too once you see it, even if it means the end of those long lazy beach days. Take a gander below as Peter Rosa captures Sarah Parr working it for fall. And don't despair--summer is like that cat--it always comes back.

More of his work here and here.

Aron Norman: Full of Glee Shooting Fox's TCA Event

And did we mention it is in L.A.? Along with Shootdigital's tech, Marc Kelly, our team was hard at work to help Fox promote it's new fall lineup.
Hard at work when they weren't hanging out with the famous cast of Glee, that is! As you can see, Aron Norman fits in perfectly. Ok well, with a black shirt he might not fit in completely perfectly, but don't hate. His red shirt was just in the wash that day. Besides, everyone in New York wears black, right?
If any of the Glee writers are out there listening, we think Aron could make for a great addition to the show (when he isn't shooting, of course!).

More of Aron Norman at work on his new personal site here.
And if you just can't get enough of him, please be sure to check out his work at seed.

Dressed for Success: Peter Rosa's Latest Video Shoot

What do you get when you combine a beautiful woman, cool clothes, Shootdigital Studios and the direction of our photographer and videographer PETER ROSA? Answer below.



And don't worry, more of them fancy "moving pictures" coming soon. Next time we'll even bring popcorn to share.

Photo Opp: Alessandra Ambrosio has love for Seed Reps (and Hector)

As you can see Victoria's Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio just couldn't resist giving Seed Reps a squeeze (or maybe it was Shootdigital barrista Hector who was irresistable. He just happens to have on a Seed Reps t-shirt). Either way it is not a bad week when you end it in the arms of a super-model, right?

Never Picked Last: Chris Fanning's Latest Sports Inspired Shoot

We all remember those gym classes where the teacher left teams up to the kids and whoever was chosen captain held ultimate power over the rest of us. Thankfully, Chris Fanning knows how to pick a winner (and without making anyone cry). Evidence on his agility as both a sports and a fashion photographer, below.




You can see more from this shoot on the cover of Gaiam Yoga (in association for Shape Magazine). "Team Uniform" styled by Bernardo Siaotong.

Hair Today: Peter Rosa's latest Shoot

Well, well, well, well....What have we here? Oh my--could it be another shoot from photographer Peter Rosa? Where does he find the time!

Above is just one of his shots of Mia Woolrich (who you have probably seen in some Ralph Lauren ads recently). Dennis Lani of Art Department created that gorgeous hair. I'm not sure what products he used but whatever it is I'm buying!

And, all of these efforts were helped along by Shootdigital Retouching who made amazing into absolutely spectacular. More shots to come.

Just for Fun Tuesday

They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. We are pretty sure, however, that THEY never met Hector who is quite content to be exactly where he is, below. One of many fun snapshots from the set of one of Chris Fanning's latest shoots at Shootdigital Studios.

Between, Hector, Shootdigital's saucy barista and our own notorious photographer, it is never a dull set!

March Madness with Our Friends. From Seed Reps Production to You!

Not sure what you are up to this month but here's an idea. Have a photo shoot that is big on dreams but short on cash? No worries! Our friends at Shootdigital are reducing their rates to $500 for the month of March.

We thought it might be a reaction from the margaritas Hector makes over there. But they are actually doing it to help clients who may be experiencing a pinch to their budgets. Don't worry--the recession has not affected Margarita Fridays (but we hear that day of the week is filling up the quickest...)

Anyway, figured we'd spread the word--hope it helps you out for your next shoot!

Marcqui Akins: A Different Sort of Beauty

Below are some picks from Marcqui Akin's latest beauty story. Startled that a beauty story could be, well, this interesting? We were too, but we love that he keeps reinventing the wheel.

His story below is based on the premise that our heroine (model, Jordan Richardson from Elite) mistrusts her man. Torn apart with suspicion she sulks, lounges and digs through the apartment searching for evidence of deceit, and looking, of course, absolutely fabulous at the same time. Don't believe me? The pictures below don't lie.

Seed Reps Have a Howlin Good Time at the Shootdigital Party

..helping to launch the new location van for shootdigital--the Coyote. Our photographer Aron Norman lent a hand by embracing his alter-ego DJ persona (in the guise of Madonna) to keep the music and the energy coming. There was a collective "awww" from the crowd when he had to finally put away the turntables, but don't worry folks, we'll let you know about his next gig for sure!

As you can see, there was some serious creativity put into the costumes. Shootdigital will be posting the rest of the pictures soon and we'll definitely share that link as soon as we have it...just keep checking in.

Special thanks to Marc Kelly, and Joanna for the contribution of the pics, Randi for keeping us safe from the dark side, Peter Rosa for helping shape the civilized world, Tracey for not believing in global warning and Daniel for continuing to rock and roll.

And, of course a big thanks to the folks at Shootdigital for putting the whole party together!

SPARTA!!!!




Man, Prince was so cool and down-to-earth, you could almost forget what a huge rock-star he is. Here he is posing for a photo opp with Tracey Carl

Location, Location, Location. Where to be this Halloween.

So, we are so excited about the event that our friends at Shootdigital are putting on to celebrate their new location van and wanted to share it with all our clients and confidantes. Our photographers are itching to try it out and we can't wait for it to be unveiled! We would love to see you there--hopefully you can recognize us-- it is a COSTUME party, afterall!
Please be sure to RSVP.

Did we mention that Fox Comic Con took place in beautiful SAN DIEGO?

Because if we didn't then we probably didn't share the following video. The guys had a bit of time in-between shooting to enjoy the surrounding sunshine and beaches. Brought to you through the combined efforts of Seed Reps, Marc Kelly from Shootdigital, and good old gravity we present: Daniel Weiner Versus the Pacific Ocean


Fear not, folks--Daniel is an excellent surfer and was not harmed in the making of this video. We just wanted to send you all off into Labor Day weekend with a laugh and remind you to have a great time. This is the last weekend most beaches are open!
Seed Reps will be back with a vengeance on Tuesday.

COMIC-CON 08 with FOX!!!

Last week Peter Rosa, Marc Kelly, and Daniel Weiner flew out to San Diego for COMIC-CON! With our Green screen in place the shooting began at the FOX booth. What an experience that was! We met quite a few interesting characters and learned a little more about what it means to have "The Force with you!"


Can you find our photographer Peter Rosa?!?
